West Ham United v ChelseaFriday, 21st September 2018by Preview Percy''After last week's result we saw Preview Percy actually break into a smile. Which was every bit as disconcerting as you might think.

Toffees away (six somersaulting Llamas) Monday, 17th September 2018by Oxford Fred''I’d been talked into going to Everton by an optimistic Young Jack (East Stand Martin Junior) in the Drayton Park pub after our good (but losing) performance at the Goons...''

Everton v West Ham UnitedFriday, 14th September 2018by Preview Percy''The international break came at the right time for Preview Percy - mainly because we probably wouldn't have been able to print what he would have written straight after the Wolves match. Let's hope things improve at Everton as there's only 6 days to the next match after this one.......''

West Ham United v Wolverhampton WanderersFriday, 31st August 2018by Preview Percy''We'll be honest, we didn't think Preview Percy would survive 90 minutes of standing on a terrace at AFC Wimbledon the other night. Fair play to the old so and so he managed to muddle through even if he has spent the whole of the following three days moaning about the state of his knees. Here's his thoughts on this weekend's visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers. With added linament......''

In Retro: The Fifty Greatest Hammers (20 to 11)Friday, 31st August 2018by HeadHammerShark''In narrowing down a list of over one thousand names to just fifty, it is inevitable that I will make some mistakes and certainly there is not a huge amount to choose between those in this section, and those who I have ranked immediately outside this list. In order to try and give some context, here are those players who just missed out:..''

In Retro: The fifty greatest HammersFriday, 31st August 2018by HeadHammerShark''Over the summer, West Ham Utd ran an interesting series of articles where they identified the “greatest” fifty players to have ever played for the club. I will confess that I find this kind of thing much more interesting than the general stuff that appears on the official site, which is usually a rehash of the previous week’s “the season starts on Saturday” article...''

Is failure in West Ham’s DNA?Tuesday, 28th August 2018by Gary Steer''As a fan you certainly cannot blame the owners anymore. They’ve put their money where their mouths are, employed a top manager and they’ve spent £100million on new players. I used to blame the board for everything but now I just don’t understand it. ..''

Arsenal v West Ham UnitedFriday, 24th August 2018by Preview Percy''Preview Percy is kinda relieved that the reign of Arsene Wenger at Arsenal is over as his hip hasn't quite recovered from the "Wenger Hokey Cokey" that started up a couple of years ago. Warning: contains typhoid outbreaks and, worse still, Piers Morgan.....

West Ham United v AFC BournemouthFriday, 17th August 2018by Preview Percy''He survived a weekend on Merseyside, or, should we say, Merseyside survived a weekend of Preview Percy who now turns his attention to this week's opening home match against AFC Bournemouth. Just don't get him started on their name......''
